Your Favourite Spice Girls Songs?

[Pip Madeley]

I should be in bed really, but for some reason beyond explanation I find myself listening to the Spice Girls' "Too Much" - one of the best 'pop ballads' ever I say, it's just sublime. My sister was a big Spice Girls fan during their peak (1996-98), so I wasn't ever far from their music. Anyway, it's lead me to ask, which are your favourite Spice Girls songs?

I've made a poll, but as there's only 10 options, it's not exhaustive. Of course, if a song you like isn't there, please mention it.

'(How Does It Feel to Be) On Top of the World' and 'One of These Girls' are my faves.

Is it exactly nine years today since '(How Does It Feel to Be) On Top of the World' was released?

W.O.M.A.N!

[SiHart]

I'll take Who Do You Think You Are? please.

[WhiteCrow]

No-one wants to zig-a-zig-ah!

[Si Hunt]

My favourite is "If You Wanna Be My Lover".

[P-Bal]

I'm torn between Treasure and Go Go Go.

And popcorn.

[P-Bal]

Don't listen to these men in orange!

I think my favourite Spice Girls song is...

Something for the girls...and the boys.

[Si Hunt]

Why is number 2 flop "Stop" an option, whence number 1 smash "Holler" isn't?

And you did.

[Matthew T]

I think describing "Holler" as a smash, number one or not, is pushing it a bit!

[Pip Madeley]

Whilst picking the songs, I noted that it failed to enter the US Billboard Hot 100, although in its defence, it didn't recieve a commercial CD single release. A good song, I think.

[Matthew T]

My Spice Girls iTunes playlist ends with "Goodbye"! I really don't like "Holler" at all, I think it sullies their otherwise superb line up of singles.

[Wayne]

I voted for 'Spice up your Life'. But it's not as good as Geri's "Look At Me".

Who'dve thought it?

[Si Hunt]

"Holler" is ace! Though they should have saved up the double-A "Let Love Lead The Way" (another number 1 classic scandalously left off the list ) and had it as the follow-up single then promoted and released four more singles and never split up like I remember them doing in 2000 it was a sad day.

I'm torn between 'Say You'll Be There', 'Who Do You Think You Are?' and 'Viva Forever', but that second hit just shades it for me - it's a great piece of pop, with a superb video. I remember that there was a bit of buzz about it at the time, with people I know saying "Have you seen the new Spice Girls video?" And then I got to see it... well, it was one of those 'special' moments.

Honourable mention must got to 'Lady Is A Vamp'. It's groovy, and it namechecks Sandy Denny - respect due.

Edit: I've just discovered that the lyric is actually 'Sandy, Danny, summer love', as in Grease. How disappointing.

Check out the Eye Candy thread, you may have a special moment there too.

[Dave Tudor]

Indeed! Grr, baby.

(Although I think I was more of a Posh man back in the day...)

[Pip Madeley]

Get your arse back over there.

[Dave Tudor]

(Calling from the Eye Candy thread)

Thank you!

[P-Bal]

I just wanna know one thing Dallas. Where are their much loved singles:
Step To Me
Move Over/Generation Next (live in Istanbul)
Tell Me Why
If You Wanna Have Some Fun
Weekend Love.

Some of these might be promo only. Some might be Taiwan.

My favourite Spice Girls song is Last Time Lover.

[Simon R]

Don't forget "Never Give Up On The Good Times" which was gonna be a double A with "Beaver Forever" until a certain P-Balesque minx fled the fields of Camlarn.

"Right Back At Ya" is the great come back single of 1999 that never was.
